THE NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO PLASTIC MICROBEADS

It is a hot topic in
all media: At least since Mr. Obama, the American president, adopted the law
end of 2015, it is on everyone´s lips: polyethylene in the daily life cosmetics
is not only dangerous for the environment; it also is harmful for humans!

At least since numerous
detections of micro plastics in the human food cycle (e.g. in fish stomachs,
honey and milk) have been made, cosmetic manufacturers are more and more under
surveillance.

Unfortunately, microplastics and microbeads are still to be found in
our daily life cosmetics. The resulting damage upon environment and wildlife is
a well-known fact. Due to
their specific density, the beads do not sink down in the sludge but directly
find their way into our rivers, lakes and oceans.

In December 2015 the law
was officially adopted:
Manufacturing of products containing plastic microbeads is prohibited from July
1, 2017 on. Introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce
is prohibited from July 1, 2018 on. (link auf Gesetzesentwurf)

Day by day, the demand
for a green alternative is getting stronger. The substitution for the PE beads
is not only expected to be optically and haptically equivalent, but also should
be moving in the same price range whereas being easy to process.
